Letter Writing Activity in School Library
Most children today have very little experience of letter writing, and receiving a letter by mail. An activity is being conducted twice a month i.e. in the 1st and 3rd week of the month in the school library to introduce students to the joy of letter writing. Besides its fun value, the activity is aimed at equipping students with important soft skills like inquiring for information, exchanging ideas and opinions and writing about personal experiences and feeling besides sparking creativity. Children from class 3rd to 10th have participated in the activity wherein they composed touching letters to the Pro Vice Chairman Mr. Vijay Dhar and other teachers in school.
Most students up to middle school write nostalgic letters to the teachers who taught them as toddlers in the Tiny Tots section. High School, however, mostly wrote to their previous Home Room teachers detailing their transition into the new class. On receipt of the letters, the Tiny Tots teachers were overwhelmed with emotion at the realization that time had not faded their memories from the minds of their students. The other teachers too were pleasantly surprised. Every eager letter is destined to find a reply, as the teachers have pledged not to let any letter go unanswered.
